Scientology
One can hardly say that Roy teiarns gave a flattering account of entology in his review of December t.29 but it is nevertheless strange to see hat Organisation treated with even a roodicum of respect. I knew that organisation in a Professional capacity many years ago. er making the maximum of uliowances for the peculiar and unfaMiliar language which permeated every aspect of its employees from top to bottom, there could be no other conclusion but that it was a manifest and deliberate quackery which t,lothing, least of all the reported acrities of recent years, could possibly raosmute into any sort of worthwhile activity. The leadership seems to have been immensely strengthened with the advent of Mr David Gaiman and an almost unbelievable impudence has been injected into the organisation's aspirations in the public sector but anyone who had studied the cult in the past would not be one whit surprised, save that anyone would take it seriously. There was quite an important purpose for the establishment of the Church of Scientology, which Ray Wallis fails to mention. It provided a degree of tax shelter among other monetary objectives not everywhere consonant with spiritual endeavours. The fairest thing one can say about Scientology is that the overwhelming stench of charlatanry which surrounds it signals 'caveat emptor' loud and clear to all who come in contact with it.
